According to government statistics, over 7.1 million people in California do not have health insurance.1 This staggering number is among the highest in the country.

Not only are the number of current individuals without health insurance a concern, studies show that as a result of the latest Federal healthcare reform programs, individual health insurance premiums in California will increase by 64%-146%2. This will undoubtedly result in an increase of those without medical insurance coverage due to the increase in premiums.

Tragedy strikes when least expected. One of the greatest challenges in recovering from a serious accident is to make sure that victims are receiving the proper medical care to help them get better faster. Often times the bills add up so quickly, victims aren't even given the chance to focus on their recovery.

"The majority of our clients don't have health insurance and can't afford to get the treatment they need. There is nothing more important than their health and well-being. The last thing on their minds after a serious accident should be how their bills are going to get paid. That's where we come in," said Torkzadeh.

"We take pride in knowing that if a client needs medical care, we can have them treated by some of the best doctors, surgeons and experts in the country without questions about health insurance coverage or payment. Our concerns are making sure our clients are taken care of," said Torkzadeh, whose law firm only represents plaintiffs in personal injury cases.
